The Wisconsin Insurance Plan relies on the producer ("insurance agent" or licensed intermediary) to secure the needed information from the applicant and from other sources to properly complete the application.
We suggest you review all the pages of this web site. This page provides only a brief summary of the many items a producer needs to know about applying to the WIP. This page is not a substitute for reading and understanding all of this website. If you have questions, call us.
Printing applications information is at the bottom of this page.
BRIEF GUIDELINES FOR SUBMITTING AN APPLICATION:
 |
Provide all the information requested on the application. Be sure to provide all of the additional information requested when a question in Section 10 is answered "yes". See application notes in italics by each question. |
|
Review the information provided with the applicant. Don't guess or assume! |
|
Advise the applicant that the application is only a request for coverage and does not bind the Plan to provide coverage. |
|
Advise the applicant that you are not an agent or representative of the Plan and that you have no authority to commit the Plan to provide coverage and you cannot act on behalf of the Plan in any manner. |
|
Provide proper documentation of rejection by another insurer - NOT THE PLAN. |
| Sign the application (the Producer sings - Not the applicant). |
| Enclose the proper deposit premium* - if you are requesting coverage to begin. BE SURE THE CHECK IS PAYABLE TO WISCONSIN INSURANCE PLAN - NOT YOUR AGENCY. The deposit premiums listed on the applications are only minimums. You may submit amounts greater than the minimum. We do not accept third party checks endorsed to the Plan. |
|
You may wish to attach a short narrative to explain situations that are a bit different. |
|
Do not fax applications. Many times they become unreadable. |
*To calculate the proper deposit premium for the Commercial Property Programs, add the limits requested on the Building to those requested on the Business Personal Property. The proper deposit premium is based on the combined limits.
BEWARE! COMMON MISTAKES THAT COULD RESULT IN REJECTIONS.
|
Application is not completed properly or information requested is not provided. |
|
Application is not signed by the Producer. |
|
Application is not readable (poor photocopy or poor fax copy). |
|
Proper documentation of rejection is not enclosed. A rejection by the Plan is not proper documentation. |
|
Proper deposit premium is not enclosed or deposit check is not payable to WISCONSIN INSURANCE PLAN. (We may require the applicant to pay the full annual premium as the deposit if there have been previous payment problems). |
BEWARE! WE UNDERWRITE! APPLY EARLY!
|
We are not required to insure every property submitted. |
|
We are not required to begin coverage as requested. |
|
Coverage will never begin earlier than the day after a proper submission with deposit is both received and deemed acceptable by the Plan. |
|
We may decline to begin coverage if the submission is not proper, until we survey the premises, until we receive additional information, or for other reasons. |
|
We suggest you apply 45 - 60 days before coverage is needed to begin. |
